AL: BOSTON at CHI WHITE SOX <div class="pre">** CONFIRMED ** AL BOSTON 10 CHI WHITE SOX 1 FINAL</div>
Ortiz, Red Sox pound White Sox <h3>BOSTON 9, CHI WHITE SOX 1 (GAME TWO)</h3>CHICAGO (Ticker) -- The Boston Red Sox picked up right wherethey left off in Game One. David Ortiz homered twice and Curt Schilling pitched six stronginnings as the Red Sox pounded out 13 hits in a 10-1 defeat ofthe Chicago White Sox in the nightcap of a doubleheader onFriday. Boston won the earlier contest, 11-3. Kevin Youkilis homered and Manny Ramirez and Mike Lowell eachscored a pair of runs for the Red Sox, who improved to 4-1 ontheir current season-high 10-game road trip and own the bestwinning percentage (.605, 78-51) in the major leagues. Ortiz finished the night with four hits and three RBI, includingdriving out the first pitch in consecutive at-bats for histhird multi-home run game of the season. The four hits tied acareer high for the All-Star slugger, who has now accomplishedthe feat 11 times in his career and twice this season. Schilling (8-5) is 2-1 in four starts since being activated fromthe disabled list on August 6. The 40-year-old held the WhiteSox to one run and three hits while striking out three andwalking one. Boston did much of its damage in the fourth inning, overcoming a1-0 deficit with five runs. Dustin Pedroia was issued a baseon balls to begin the inning before Ortiz connected for hisfirst blast of the contest. Ramirez and Lowell followed with a single and a double,respectively, and Bobby Kielty drew a walk two batters later.Chicago starter John Danks then yielded an RBI double to CocoCrisp before being pulled after only 3 1/3 innings. The outing matched the shortest of the season for the White Soxrookie. Kevin Cash capped the five-run frame with an RBI singlefor Boston. Danks (6-12) gave up five runs and five hits, while walking two.The 22-year-old lefthander is now 0-6 in his last sevenstarts. Danks is the first White Sox pitcher to go 0-5 inAugust since 1957. Chicago reliever Gavin Floyd took over for Danks but did notfare much better. The fellow rookie served up Ortiz's secondhome run of the night in the fifth and, after walking Ramirezand Lowell, gave up Youkilis' three-run blast. The extent of the White Sox offense came from Juan Uribe's solohome run in the second inning. It was the shortstop's 14thblast of the season. Chicago has lost 11 of its last 13 and now sits in last place inthe American League Central Division, 16 games below .500(56-72). It is the worse position the club has been in allseason.

The outing matched the shortest of the season for the rookie. Danks (6-12) gave up five runs and five hits while walking two.The 22-year-old lefthander, who is 0-6 in his last seven starts,became the first White Sox pitcher to go 0-5 in August since1957. "It was a real tough outing for (Danks)," White Sox managerOzzie Guillen said. "It was a tough day for everyone. I thinkthat's one of the reasons they are in first place and we are inlast place. They hit better than we did, they pitched betterthan we did. They have a pretty good lineup, and the way wepitched, they're better." Kevin Cash capped the five-run frame with an RBI single. Gavin Floyd took over for Danks but did not fare much better.The fellow rookie served up Ortiz's second home run of the nightin the fifth and, after walking Ramirez and Lowell, gave upYoukilis' three-run blast. Chicago's lone run came on Juan Uribe's solo home run in thesecond inning. It was the shortstop's 14th blast of the season. The White Sox have lost 11 of their last 13 and now sit in lastplace in the American League Central Division, 16 games below.500 (56-72). It is the worse position the club has been in allseason. "(Today) was 12 hours of my life wasted, and I'm never going toget it back," Guillen said. "We talk about the pitching staff,but we got one run and five hits."
